Be great to have Wayne and Andy back. They are Kobe ⚓️🔥
As I predicted last week,,,,Wayne Smith handed more hands-on role at Kobe Steelers
Very wise move given new head coach will be inexperienced (from coaching standpoint) Andy Ellis
2 other Kobe Old Boys (also with limited experience as coaches) set to return as Ellis' assistants

I wonder whether, going forward, World Rugby would allow Japan to field 2 teams; a Japan (B) made up of native players and a stronger Japan (A) of residency qualified ones. 🤔
Or the native B team could just fulfill a kind of Maori All Blacks role 😉

Kobe ended the final with 13 missed tackles (from 135).
12 of those in the first half.
What a second 40mins 👊🏼💥

What a final💥
A monstrous second half from Kobe. Holding worthy finalists Kubota Spears to zero points to lift the JRLO title for the first time 22-13.
Incredible 80m of defense from the Steelmen🔥
So many POTM performances but Retallick has been THE man all season
⚓️🔥👊🏼🎊

Hugely deserved for Dave Rennie and the whole team that have taken the final step and turned the Steelers into champions.
They’ve nurtured a fresh generation of players and used the veteran leaders perfectly. ABs should feel optimistic. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why, why, why on earth would a kicker take a long approach on a gimme in front of the sticks? 🤦🏻♂️😂
Completely coachable.

A frankly embarrassing set of Div 1/Div 2 relegation/promotion results for JRLO and JRFU.
There can’t be anyone who thinks the enormous rift between the 2 leagues is possible to breech. Is there?
Div 1 is essentially ring-fenced.
The entire structure is irredeemably flawed.

Forget about anything that follows.
Kobe Steelers won the 2026 season.

Kobe win ugly. 24-19. A relief more than a victory.
Like the Keystone Cops out there. 20 handling errors in perfect conditions.
There has been a lot of poorly maintained possessions today.
Hope they don’t plan to do this in finals footie.

The referee in charge of the Toyota Ricoh game is an absolute clown 🤡

My word! Kosho Muto had a great day for Canon Eagles today, in pretty much every area of the game. He provided the tries that gave Jesse Kriel his POTM too.
Unfortunate that he didn't get the grounding early in the game that would have brought his first JRLO try.

It’s as if the Kobe Steelers scrummie and other backs can’t see the Suntory kick chargers🤦🏻♂️
3x in one half already.
(Lucky we’re way ahead on the scoreboard.)

The rugby gods are punishing Mie Honda Heat for fielding only 3 Japanese players vs Ricoh Black Rams🤣

“Mie” Honda Heat invite JRLO fans to play “spot the Japan born player” in their starting 15 against the Black Rams on Friday night. 😅

Ricoh Black Rams wing Taira Main is one heck of a decision maker.
Cerebral players are always the best.
I hope he gets back into Blossoms selection after overcoming injury.
Eddie Jones must move away from selecting wingers who just score easy JRLO tries, in my opinion.

Hopefully that dreadful performance will act as a wake up call for Kobe Steelers.
A championship run often includes such an “off” game.
In any case, the team that took the field today is not worthy of lifting the JRLO title. 😥
